Inflow Models

Use inflow blocks based on analytical models to capture the distribution of normal induced velocity through the rotor disc. The Dynamic Inflow (3-State) block solves a set of three ODEs with the mean, lateral, and longitudinal inflow components as states, and captures a linear variation of inflow along the blade span, and first harmonic variation of inflow around the blade disc. The Dynamic Inflow (Finite-State) block solves a finite set of ODEs, and captures radial variation of inflow using Legendre functions, and the azimuthal variation using trigonometric functions.
